We also accept, on the basis of the letter of 11 September 2003 from Springfield Hospital that the appellant had been admitted to Crocus Ward in October/November 2002 with severe depression following an attempt at deliberate self-harm by overdosing with Buspirone.
'He continues to express helplessness, hopelessness and pointlessness. He has a sense of foreshortened future, with a severely damaged self-concept along with a features (sic) of loss of personal and moral integrity.
In my opinion, there is a very significant risk of completed suicide in the UK if [the appellant] knows for certain that he is to be removed toSri Lanka
. He has as mentioned already made one serious attempt at suicide here.
He has found support and sympathy from his relatives in the UK which to a large extent has provided him with a sense of stability.
"If you (the appellate authorities) refuse me, I will harm myself. I did it once before when I learnt of a refusal, and I will do it again".
